Moore Bryant Submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on September 2, 1994, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract Protein structure prediction is a grand challenge in' the fields of biology and computer science. Being able to quickly determine the structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence would be extremely useful to biologists interested in elucidating the mechanisms of life and finding ways to cure disease. In spite of a wealth of knowl- edge about proteins and their structure, the structure prediction problem has gone unsolved in the nearly forty years since the first determination of a protein structure by X-ray crystallography. In this thesis, I discuss issues in the representation of protein structure and se- quence for algorithms which perform structure prediction.
